Which vauxhall diesels are you looking at? Can perhaps get a Clio dci for 2k now? Think the earlier corsa c's with 1.7 diesels are GM units so probably not as good as the earlier Isuzu engines used.

I was looking at corsa cs, astra, vectras I have heard the 1.7cdti turbos are weak but I'm not sure how true that is

Probably hear a lot more about it so it looks worse than it is.

1.3 CDTi is fantastic on fuel, more so the later ones, 2004 on.

Ye I thought that, had looked at 1.3cdti but I'm thinken something that has a bit of performance to aswel as economical. Did think also maybe a golf earlier pump engine ones seem to be reasonble price now, haven't seen any decent pd engine ones for my budget

I know the turbos on the 1.3cdtis aren't the best, that's a fiat engine. Dunno about the 1.7s, our work ones get abused to fuck and all seem okay.

Gonna throw in a wildcard here and say an MGZR TD. Cheap to buy, and cheap to tune. Can see about 150bhp and a shit load of torque for about £300. Can also insure them on a classic car policy.

An MGZR TD can be insured on classic insurance?

how so? Are they really considered a classic?
